About Crybaby

One afternoon, Jing walked with her two kids past a schoolyard full of parents. Jing stopped and looked. Her youngest child was sitting in the stroller, while the oldest was standing. He was gripping the fence, looking at all the parents.

The parents were all patiently waiting in the sun for the school bell to ring. Waiting for their children to run out of school.

And then, from out of nowwhere, Jing felt a wave, a tsunami of nauseating jealousy overcoming her. Steaming green, ferociously angry, and insanely jealous, it screamed and hissed at the children running out of school. It was startling, scary and completely bewildering. What just happened?

This poetry book is Jing’s story of the awakening of her inner child and finding her again… despite she was thought lost, a long time ago.

Reviews

‘My daughter asked me what the book is about. I told her that the author shared her trauma in poetry format. She has been reading in your book. And now she is starting to write poems herself. She said her English teacher and therapist have been encouraging her. Seeing your book definitely gave her a final push.’

‘Over de kleine Jing, die zich nu eindelijk mag uiten, met alle emoties waar vroeger geen ruimte voor was. Alle boosheid, verdriet en eenzaamheid komen eruit. De volwassen Jing vangt ze op en zorgt ervoor. Grote en kleine Jing hebben elkaar eindelijk weer gevonden en blijken een heel goed duo.’

‘Een rauwe en kwetsbare vertelling zonder compromis.‘
